I have a few new reverse paintings now at Sidestreet Arts on SE 28th off Burnside. Come take a look.

I may put this in the ReMax show this year. Mixed media on canvas. 23"x18"​

I'm working on paintings for the annual ReMax art show. The theme this year is Acceptance. My intention is to think about "one world, many thoughts". Acrylic on canvas - 30"x34"

​I've been trying to start every day doing some quick exercises like these little people using various brushes and Sumi ink.

​ I thought I'd paint a rather large painting ​ using my fingers and old, stiff business ​ cards I can't use anymore. I find them to work really well as spreaders. I did use a pencil to scribble something along the​ bottom. I guess I'll call this "Fuetenilbeck42lon". I think that's what​ it says.​

I totally forgot to say something about​ "Performance". I entered her in an international art show put on by ​ Swedish artist and designer Gudrun Sjoden. I was shocked and surprised​ to hear I won! I have no idea how many people entered but I do know they were from all over the place and​ it looked like six art pieces were selected as the best. ​ My art group, The Bridge City Artists,​ helped me iron out a misplaced arm during our monthly critique. I originally had both arms extended off the canvas and Judy Shaw (wow, what ​ an artist!) suggested I lift one arm up​ and it truly made all the difference.​ She is acrylic, oil, oil pastel, Sumi Ink​ and charcoal. She's been sold.
